WHY RECYCLE?Recycling is one important way
of saving natural resources and protecting our environment.
Recycled items are reused to make new items, so fewer raw materials are consumed.
Recycling saves landfill space and thus helps keep costs down because today’s modern sanitary landfills are very expensive to build.
DID YOU KNOW...Recycled glass is made into
new glass and reflective traffic signs.
Recycled metal cans are made into new cans.
Recycled paper is made into new paper, cardboard boxes, newsprint, insulation products and roofing material.
Recycled plastic containers are made into carpet, fiberfill for pillows and coats, woven fabric, a lumber substitute, appliance handles, packaging and new plastic bottles.
